Offshore Wind

BIO-UV Group has completed the first commercial deployment of its containerised BIO-SEA ballast water treatment system (BWTS) at Port-la-Nouvelle in southern France, supporting the installation of the pioneering EFGL floating offshore wind project in the Mediterranean.

As offshore wind energy development accelerates in much of the world, its infrastructure must be designed to endure. Unlike offshore oil and gas platforms, which are often manned and accessible for regular inspection, offshore wind farms remain remote, unmanned and exposed to some of the world’s harshest marine conditions.

Utilities are confronting a convergence of challenges, including aging infrastructure, rising energy demand and the accelerating shift to renewable energy sources. The electric grid, much of which is decades old, is increasingly exposed to risks like extreme weather and cyber threats. Digital transformation can offer a practical path forward, helping utilities modernize operations, improve visibility […]

A leading trade association for the clean energy industry said its data shows growth in U.S. renewable energy deployments is slowing at a significant rate, as the Trump administration continues to adopt policies aimed at limiting the sector.

The British government has approved plans for a 1,500-MW wind farm off the coast of Fylde in Lancashire, in northwestern England. The Morgan Offshore Wind Project will feature 96 turbines, each with about 15.6 MW of generation capacity. The installation is sited just more than 20 miles off the Fylde coast. Plans call for an […]

The reeling offshore wind power market received another blow as Mitsubishi Corp. said it will end further development of three Japanese offshore wind power projects due to rising costs. Mitsubishi Chief Executive Katsuya Nakanishi on August 27 said cost increases for the installations had far surpassed the company’s projections. The company said the price of […]

MHI to Supply Four Circulating Water Pumps for Sanmen Nuclear Power Plant in China. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) received an order for the supply of four circulating water pumps (CWP) for Units 5 and

The white paper underscores the transformative potential of hybridizing offshore wind energy, emphasizing the integration of hybrid technologies, e.g. energy storage systems (BESS), to enhance the reliability, stability, and economic feasibility of offshore wind farms. This approach mitigates the intermittency of wind power, resulting in a more consistent and predictable energy output. By contributing to grid stability […]

The whitepaper discusses the integration of hybrid power plants in the energy sector, emphasizing their role in addressing the challenges of renewable energy integration. It highlights the importance of hybrid plants in meeting global energy demands by combining multiple power generation and storage strategies. The document outlines the benefits of flexibility, cost reduction, and emission control provided […]

Scottish energy giant SSE said it has government approval to develop an offshore wind farm that at present would be the largest such installation in the world.
